2 Samuel 18:22-29

22Then saidH559 AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659 yet againH3254 to JoabH3097, But howsoeverH4100, let me, I pray thee, also runH7323 afterH310 CushiH3569. And JoabH3097 saidH559, Wherefore wilt thou runH7323, my sonH1121, seeing that thou hast no tidingsH1309 readyH4672?12

23But howsoever, said he, let me runH7323. And he saidH559 unto him, RunH7323. Then AhimaazH290 ranH7323 by the wayH1870 of the plainH3603, and overranH5674 CushiH3569.

24And DavidH1732 satH3427 between the twoH8147 gatesH8179: and the watchmanH6822 went upH3212 to the roofH1406 over the gateH8179 unto the wallH2346, and lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and behold a manH376 runningH7323 alone.

25And the watchmanH6822 criedH7121, and toldH5046 the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559, If he be alone, there is tidingsH1309 in his mouthH6310. And he cameH3212 apaceH1980, and drew nearH7131.

26And the watchmanH6822 sawH7200 anotherH312 manH376 runningH7323: and the watchmanH6822 calledH7121 unto the porterH7778, and saidH559, Behold another manH376 runningH7323 alone. And the kingH4428 saidH559, He also bringeth tidingsH1319.

27And the watchmanH6822 saidH559, Me thinkethH7200 the runningH4794 of the foremostH7223 is like the runningH4794 of AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659. And the kingH4428 saidH559, He is a goodH2896 manH376, and comethH935 with goodH2896 tidingsH1309.3

28And AhimaazH290 calledH7121, and saidH559 unto the kingH4428, All is wellH7965. And he fell downH7812 to the earthH776 upon his faceH639 before the kingH4428, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, which hath delivered upH5462 the menH582 that lifted upH5375 their handH3027 against my lordH113 the kingH4428.45

29And the kingH4428 saidH559, Is the young manH5288 AbsalomH53 safeH7965? And AhimaazH290 answeredH559, When JoabH3097 sentH7971 the king’sH4428 servantH5650, and me thy servantH5650, I sawH7200 a greatH1419 tumultH1995, but I knewH3045 not what it was.6
